A Washtub and Some Fall Gardening

A few days ago I told my husband that I wanted to put flowers in this old washtub I got at my parents' garage sale. Kit has such a green thumb. He can grow and keep anything alive! Lo and behold, two days later he told me he was going to the nursery to pick me up some flowers. How cute is that? When he got home we got to business. Ivy filled the bigger pots with rocky soil so they wouldn't get root rot.

Then they put the flowers and good soil in the pots. 

And yes, Ivy is in her underwear most of the time. 

Then they put the flowers in the old washtub.

This was our dog, Godiva's contribution:

Kit put them on our bench (see the bench post here) and watered them in the scorching Maui heat 

And that's what we like to do on our days off. :)

Isn't this tub cute? Perfectly vintage, if you ask me. It makes me happy every time I pull up to our house. 

Aloha,
